Missed The Food

Lunch at Pasteur

"Which one is Pasteur?", I heard one workmate ask another, as we headed towards George Street. "Oh, you know, it's the Vietnamese place next to the sex shop..." As I looked up and saw the sign for the Pleasure Chest or whatever it's called, a voice inside my laughed. She was right. As we sat down and ate some very delicious food, I was reminded of the blog post I wrote before leaving for Europe. I knew then what I know now: that we are blessed for good food in Sydney. As I travelled around … [Read more...]

Eating Out

Rolfs Kök in Stockholm

I'm learning to love coffee again. Since arriving in Stockholm I've made it a daily habit to go out to a cafe somewhere each morning, to sit down and really ENJOY a coffee. I know it seems small, but it's become an important part of my daily ritual since arriving here. But rather than going to the same place every day, I've been looking for somewhere different to go to each day, relax, read the paper, check email, watch the world go by, and really ENJOY that coffee. It's in stark contrast to … [Read more...]

Foods I Will Miss

Vegemite

Love this gift a friend gave me as I head off for a few months of overseas travel. Yes, I'll miss vegemite. But I'll also miss the wonderful variety of Asian cuisine we enjoy in Australia. I've tried Thai in Sweden. I've tried Chinese in Berlin. I've tried Vietnamese in Copenhagen. And to be frank, it's nowhere near as fine as the local varieties I enjoy in Sydney. As excited as I am about my travel, I'll miss Sydney, and I'll miss the food. … [Read more...]

Cocktail Frankfurts

Cocktail Frankfurts

For a brief moment, tonight, I thought about calling this blog post "Little Boys", but then I very quickly realised in this day and age that probably wasn't such a good thing to do. The truth is, in my family at least, and probably in lots of other Australian families, "cocktail frankfurts" have been fairly regularly referred to as "Little Boys". I don't think I need to explain the reason why. Cocktail frankfurts are the shorter version of a saveloy. At this stage, I should point out the … [Read more...]

Food Photos – Red Chilli

Dumplings at Red Chilli in Sydney

"Where do you feel like eating? Is Red Chilli okay?" my friend Kate asked me via text yesterday. Of course, Red Chilli was okay. It's one of our favourite places to eat in Sydney. We've eaten at the Chinatown venue on many occasions, and last week we dined at their venue on Glebe Point Road. We both love the food they offer, as it's tasty, it's well-priced, and we've never left feeling hungry. Although we have some favourites, especially the chicken chilli dish, tonight we expanded our … [Read more...]

The Eat In – Chippendale, Sydney

The Eat In, Kensington Street, Chippendale, Sydney

"This is only our fifth night", the waiter told us, when we asked how long "The Eat In" had been operating as a pop-up restaurant in the converted warehouse in Sydney's Chippendale. The space the restaurant inhabits consisted of two main parts: a large darkened, and seemingly unused area on the left, and kitchen/dining area on the right. There's little demarcation in the space between where the staff prepare the food, and where patrons, seated at long tables consume it. It was terrific to … [Read more...]
